Be careful advising the use of Super Colibri's in a rifle. It is not a safe practice. There is a reason for the warning on the box. I have had the Super Colibri bullets lodge in the 24" barrel of a...

Ask not to be sent premiums when you renew and you won't get them.
My view of gun owners who do not belong to the NRA, GOA or similar organization is about the same as it is for people on wellfare.

I let everybody I know I cast and will take anything from a splitshot up. It is amazing how many people have 5 or 10 pounds of lead (or more) laying in their shop or garage they would love to get rid...

I use peanut butter jars for bullets. I like being able to see them, kind of like bullet porn. The small plastic coffee cans for brass I don't keep a lot of and and the small ammo cans for the...

I'm loading 3.8 gr of Bullseye behind the same bullet in my Kimber with good results. I'm with the others who think it may be a diameter issue.

For the sorters, about how long does it take to do a 5gal bucket of wheel weights?
I hadn't considered range scrap. I don't sort that either. I run the temp a fair bit higher to help the TMJ's flow...

Just curious who sorts before they smelt and who doesn't.
I don't sort anything anymore. When I do wheel weights it all goes in the pot. I have a steel rod that I stir the pile with. The lead...

I don't sort anything I smelt. Haven't had a problem with wheel weights or range scrap yet. I run the heat higher on the range scrap as it seems to help the TMJ's melt out better. What don't melt out...

Been working at a Ford dealership for 13 years. We sell 90% trucks and 90% of those are 4x4's. We probably do about 2/3 ecoboost engines in those. There have been a few that suffered from the...

Wow, in Texas if you have a concealed carry permit they don't even make a call for a background check.

I'm using a fish cooker I got at Walmart. Plenty of heat. Also, by bringing up your temps a little slower you can forego sorting and just skim off the iron and zinkers.

Could it be tin or antimony oxidizing from too much heat?

Did you use a thermometer?
My bet is it is pure and the temp of your COWW alloy wasn't quite hot enough to melt the pure and it never did actually melt in your mix as it appeared.
I have to open...
